Soccermatics: Mathematical Adventures in the Beautiful Game (Bloomsbury Sigma)

'Football looked at in a very different way' Pat Nevin, former Chelsea and Everton star and football media analyst

Football â€“ the most mathematical of sports. From shot statistics and league tables to the geometry of passing and managerial strategy, the modern game is filled with numbers, patterns and shapes. How do we make sense of them? The answer lies in the mathematical models applied in biology, physics and economics.

Soccermatics brings football and mathematics together in a mind-bending synthesis, using numbers to help reveal the inner workings of the beautiful game.

This new and expanded edition analyses the current big-name players and teams using mathematics, and meets the professionals working inside football who use numbers and statistics to boost performance.

Welcome to the world of mathematical modelling, expressed brilliantly by David Sumpter through the prism of football. No matter who you follow â€“ from your local non-league side to the big boys of the Premiership, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A or the MLS â€“ you'll be amazed at what mathematics has to teach us about the world's favourite sport.
